St George Island Vacation Rental house: Plantation

The four-bedroom, four-bath Sands of Kefala welcomes up to 10 vacationers for a relaxing stay any time of year. Should a chill blow in, you can gather by the fireplace with a good book from the home’s own selection, but there’s no off-season for Gulf views, which you can feast on no matter what. The first floor offers a king master suite, while the other bedrooms—two queens and one with a pair of single beds—are on the second floor. The second floor also features the well-appointed kitchen and a lovely living room and dining room, with very nice hardwood flooring. Of course, it’s all about the surrounding salt waters, and outdoor types will appreciate the home’s convenient outdoor shower and fish-cleaning station. This house allows use of a community pool and tennis courts. You will also see easy beach access just across the street.
